C148 The Orphanage Was on Fire

"I'm not, but my wife is. If you agree, you will be the building material of Luliang in the future..."

"I agree!"

Before Qin Chuan could finish his words, the man nodded like a chick pecking at rice. What kind of joke was this? Such a rich company, only a fool would not join.

"What's your name?" Qin Chuan nodded and did not show any surprised expression.

"Huang Deyong." The man said.

"Alright. Tomorrow, when you go to Luliang to build materials, someone will naturally give you the money."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and left with Wang Dachuan and the others, leaving Huang Deyong sitting on the ground in a daze.

It was like sitting on a roller coaster, sometimes falling into the valley, sometimes rising and falling. The feeling of rising and falling was really hard for Huang Deyong to get used to.

Just as Qin Chuan and Wang Dachuan were about to take a ride home with Wang Dachuan, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the entrance of the exhibition center. The person in the lead was the philanthropist, Tao Qinghua, who had just spoken on stage. His face was full of anxiety, as if he had encountered an emergency.

"Qin Chuan, what happened to them?" Lu Xueqing asked in confusion through the window.

"Who knows? An auction is worth so much money. They should be happy," Qin Chuan said.

Qin Chuan curled his lips, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"I'll go and take a look." Lu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan, then opened the door and got off the car, walking towards Tao Qinghua and the others.

After a while, Lu Xueqing rushed back in a hurry and slammed the window.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Chuan lowered the window and looked at Lu Xueqing in confusion.

"I heard that the orphanage went on fire." Lu Xueqing said while gasping for breath.

"What!"

Qin Chuan was stunned. His eyes passed Lu Xueqing and looked at Tao Qinghua's group of people. They were hurriedly getting into the car and were about to leave the exhibition center.

"Qin Chuan, let's go and take a look too." Lu Xueqing's tone sounded like she was begging.

"No."

Qin Chuan shook his head decisively. What kind of joke was this? With Lu Xueqing's kind personality, she might rush into the orphanage to save people if the orphanage went on fire. Qin Chuan did not want to see anything happen to his wife.

"Then you can go home. I will go by myself."

Lu Xueqing gave Qin Chuan a cold look, turned around, and ran towards Tao Qinghua. However, her heart was filled with endless disappointment towards Qin Chuan.

During this period of time, she thought that Qin Chuan had changed, but she didn't expect that he was still as cowardly as before.

The driver of the vehicle was Wang Dachuan's bodyguard, Lee Gaang. When he saw that Qin Chuan was silent, he immediately asked.

"Mr. Qin, are we going back?"

Qin Chuan did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Lu Xueqing's back as she walked away. The corner of his mouth gradually revealed a smile.

Such a kind woman, how could he let her down?

Yingshan orphanage was located in the northern part of Dongjiang City. It wasn't a remote location. It was surrounded by old residential buildings. It was about 20 minutes away from the Wangjiang Exhibition Center.

When Lu Xueqing arrived with Tao Qinghua, the fire had already spread. The building that caught fire happened to be in the middle of the orphanage, with three floors.

The entire building was covered in thick smoke. From afar, one could smell the pungent burnt smell.

Fire trucks poured water over like it was free, but they could not suppress the fire at all. They could only watch helplessly as the building was mercilessly swallowed by the fire.

"Dean Tao!"

A few middle-aged women who looked like nurses saw Tao. The group from Tsinghua University hurriedly walked over and hurriedly greeted him.

"Children, where are my children?"

Tao Tsinghua Hua grabbed one of the nurses and asked with a sorrowful expression.

"Director, don't worry. The children have all been moved out of the building and placed in a safe position." The caregiver hastily said.

"That's good, that's good," the nurse said.

Knowing that the children were safe and sound, Tao Qinghua finally felt relieved.

"Reporting to the leader, the fire has been basically controlled. The children in the orphanage have completely evacuated. Other than a few of the onlookers who were injured by the things that fell from upstairs, there were no casualties."

The fire chief saluted a middle-aged man who looked like a leader, but he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

The fire had happened suddenly and the fire had been raging. However, the fire brigade had rescued all the trapped people within half an hour. Although the fire did not show any signs of diminishing, as long as no one died, it would be considered a great merit.

"Alright, you did a good job in this matter."

The man who looked like a leader patted the fire department's captain's shoulder. His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"Wuwuwu... "Help... Wuwuwu..."

At this moment, the sound of a child crying suddenly reached everyone's ears. Everyone immediately looked up and saw a blurry and small figure suddenly appear in front of everyone on the sixth floor balcony.

"Not good! There are people inside!"

The expression of the fire chief changed, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to rush into the building to provide assistance.

However, this fire was truly too fierce. The firefighters had organized several charges, but they were simply unable to charge in. Helpless, they could only retreat.

"Reporting, Captain. The fire in the building is dangerous. Our people are unable to enter and save them."

A few firefighters who had escaped death rushed over to report.

"Where's the ladder?"

The fire captain asked hurriedly.

"It has been transferred from the station. It will take about 20 minutes."

The fire officer's eyes were filled with sadness. 20 minutes was enough for the fire to engulf the entire building.

"My child!"

At this moment, Tao Qinghua suddenly rushed out from the crowd and desperately wanted to run into the building.

"Quick, stop Dean Tao!"

The fire brigade leader hurriedly shouted. Two firefighters immediately rushed over and pulled Dean Tao back.

"Let me go! My child is still inside!"

Tao Qinghua struggled with all his might. To her, those orphans were her children.

"Dean Tao, listen to me. The fire is really too strong now. Not only can we not save that child, our lives will also be in danger if we rashly enter. We can only choose..."

The fire chief's expression darkened and he sighed heavily.

"Then what do you guys think we should do? Do we have to watch her be burned to death by the fire?"

With a face full of tears, Tao Qinghua pointed at the blurry figure on the sixth floor balcony. Despair filled everyone's ears.

"Dean Tao, please restrain your grief. We can't save this child."

The fire chief held back his tears and clenched his fists tightly.

"Wuwu... Help, cough cough cough..."

At this moment, the child's heart-wrenching cry sounded again. Everyone looked up and saw that the poor child was crawling behind the anti-theft fence behind the window, crying powerlessly. In the next moment, he was enveloped by the thick smoke that floated up and the crying also disappeared.

"I'll go save her!"

At this moment, an unquestionable female voice was heard. Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard it, and then they looked over. They saw Lu Xueqing, who had a firm expression on her face, walk out of the crowd quickly.

"A woman?"

The fire chief and his team members felt a burning pain on their faces. A woman had the courage to step out to save those children, but they...

It could only be said that ignorant people were fearless. Lu Xueqing did not know what this fire meant. Rushing in would only result in death.

"Madam Lu, I appreciate your good intentions, but..."

Tao Qinghua's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the building that had been engulfed by the huge fire.

Such a huge fire, That child was probably already...

"Wait! What is that?"

Tao Qinghua rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He saw a figure suddenly appear on the rooftop beside him. His hands were waving in front and behind him, as though he was about to jump over.

"Look, what is that person doing!"

"Oh my God, he, he can't be thinking of jumping over to save that child, right?"

Waves of exclamations sounded from the crowd. Even Lu Xueqing couldn't help but raise her head to look over.

"That person... Why is he so familiar?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Xueqing's eyes as she stared blankly at the figure on the roof. She felt as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Could it be him?"

A figure flashed across Lu Xueqing's heart and then she shook her head hesitantly. With his character, he would definitely not do such a thing.

"Oh my god, he is going to jump!"

"The fire is too big. I can't see anything clearly. If I jump over, I will die."

"Yeah. What a good person. What a pity."

A burst of discussion suddenly broke out in the crowd, pulling Lu Xueqing back to reality.0
